AI Leadership for Headteachers

Project Momentum is the 10-week AI leadership cohort built for UK headteachers who hold real decision-making authority — primary, secondary, all-through, special, and independent. You don't need another tools demo. You need a defensible AI strategy, a policy your governors trust, and the judgment to lead through a generation of change.

The work headteachers are doing in Momentum

Build your school's AI policy from a tested template. Develop an AI literacy curriculum that staff actually use. Make the hard choices on assessment, safeguarding, and CPD. Decide what your school will say no to. Leave with a strategy you can stand behind in front of your governing body, your inspectorate, and your parents.

Why headteachers choose Momentum over the alternatives

Most AI training for school leaders is product-led — a vendor walks you through their tool. Momentum is led by Dan Fitzpatrick (Forbes Senior Contributor on AI in education, author of The AI Classroom) and Sabba Quidwai (education innovation leader, designer, strategist). The frameworks are independent. The peers are senior. The output is a strategy, not a slide deck.

Format that respects a headteacher's diary

10 weekly 60-minute live online sessions on a fixed weekday slot. Fortnightly 30-minute drop-ins. All sessions recorded. Most headteachers commit 2–3 hours per week including independent work. The whole programme is designed around the rhythm of a UK school year.
